Lineas, the largest rail operator in Belgium, will receive a loan for 61 million euros from the state\u2019s Federal Holding and Investment Company (SFPIM). The private company is in dire need for financial help, as the ghost of bankruptcy may be closer than expected.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Lineas has been struggling since after the COVID-19 pandemic. A massive restructuring plan was announced in 2022, but the company still needs liquidity to stay alive and complete it by 2027 as scheduled. According to RTBF, a public broadcasting organisation for the French part of Belgium, documents showed that a bankruptcy could come as early as next month.<\/p>\n
